Donald Rumsfeld Quotes

«Amidst all the clutter, beyond all the obstacles, aside from all the static, are the goals set. Put your head down, do the best job possible, let the flak pass, and work towards those goals.»
«From where you sit, the White House may look as untidy as the inside of a stomach. As is said of the legislative process, sausage-making and policy-making shouldn't be seen close-up. Don't let that panic you. Things may be going better than they look from the inside.»
«Don't speak ill of your predecessors or successors. You didn't walk in their shoes.»
«Arguments of convenience lack integrity and inevitably trip you up.»
«Test ideas in the marketplace. You learn from hearing a range of perspectives. Consultation helps engender the support decisions need to be successfully implemented.»
«Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.»
«Enjoy your time in public service. It may well be one of the most interesting and challenging times of your life.»
«Don't 'over-control' like a novice pilot. Stay loose enough from the flow that you can observe it, modify, and improve it.»
«Control your time. If you're working off your in-box, you're working off the priorities of others. Be sure the staff is working on what you move to them from the President, or the President will be reacting, not leading.»
«The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don't tell him the truth. Others won't do it.»
